Although war is never easy, Kobarid battle was especially hard. Soldiers did not expect a war to last so long and most of the soldiers were young boys, going to battle for the first time in their life. They did not expect the hard terrain, long days without fresh water, cold and meters of snow. Governors promised them the war will be over in a few weeks. It lasted for 29 months. Many soldiers never returned to their homes, but they left part of their souls in the letters, pictures and other objects that can now be seen in Kobarid Museum.

Take time to listen to the stories of lost soldiers and their miseries. Kobarid Museum holds a great collection of war exhibits, video projections, reliefs, and other utilities used in WW1. Tour guides can be found who can speak in several languages and you can even visit various battlefields in Kobarid vicinity.
